Player Notes
June 7, 2008
Kellen Clemens enjoyed a strong day of practice on Friday, as he threw a 20-yard dart that split the secondary to find Brad Miller in the end zone on a slant, according to the NY Daily News.

Our View:He will present the Jets with a tough decision as to who to choose for the starting quarterback job if he continues to perform well, like he did on Friday. Chad Pennington made some nice throws as well, but appeared to be favoring his right ankle that he sprained at the start of last season.

Quarterback Kellen Clemens outplayed veteran Chad Pennington for the second straight day during passing drills at the New York Jets organized team activities, according to the Newark Star-Ledger.

Our View:Clemens was working with the second team in a practice devoted mostly to situational work including the hurry-up, goal line and red zone offenses. It appears Clemens has the early advantage to start for the Jets in 2008, though the quarterback competition will likely remain fierce through training camp.
May 22, 2008
The Jets may be harboring one of the more intriguing quarterback position battles, but coach Eric Mangini refuses assertions the team is hoping Kellen Clemens gets the job, according to the New York Post.

Our View:Mangini notes Chad Pennington is more than capable of leading the team again in 2008 and, while Clemens is still viewed as the arm of the future, the team is going to let the battle play out on the field during training camp. Of course, fans like to note that Pennington is the aging commodity inherited when Mangini took the reins while Clemens is much younger and was drafted as the potential field general for the Jets, thus it seems all too likely the coach has a desire to see his man take the job. Until training camp, we won't know.
May 15, 2008
Manager Eric Mangini has said that there will be an open competition at quarterback between Kellen Clemens and Chad Pennington, but the team is really pulling for Clemens to win the job, according to the NY Daily News. The team drafted Clemens in the second round of the draft two years ago, and has high expectations for him, and also want to prove their assessment of his talent was right.

Our View:Clemens has five touchdown passes and 10 interceptions over 251 NFL snaps over his two seasons, but has better scrambling ability and a stronger arm than Chad Pennington. The team will ultimately have to weigh Pennington's experience against the third year pro's upside when deciding on their starter.

New York Jets’ owner Woody Johnson has given head coach Eric Mangini and general manager Mike Tannenbaum the often dreaded vote of confidence, according to ESPN. When the Jets threw more than $140 million at free agents this offseason, their expectations seemed clear: another four-win season would be intolerable. But Johnson said recently that Mangini and Tannenbaum would "absolutely" keep their jobs for 2009, regardless of how the coming season pans out.
